Adam & Eve, SW1

Fairly traditional corner pub in Petty France, opposite Wellington Barracks which gives the place a bit of a squaddies’ vibe; I didn’t stay for a drink.

Now owned by Greedy King but it doesn’t sound like they have altered it at all going by previous reviews below. What it does mean unfortunately is that Abbott, IPA and London Glory dominated the pumps alongside something badged as Adam & Eve Ale (presumably another GK brew). Fortunately St Austells Tribute was the guest ale on the last pump and was in reasonable enough nick. Of the two the nearby Buckingham Arms will get my vote in future.

Can't disagree with Maldenman. I've been calling in this pub for the last 10 years whenever I'm working in Westminster, which is about one night per month. The beer is always well kept, but only occasionally does a more interesting beer appear. The thing is when one appears they come along like buses, two or three at once, and then it's back to the same old tired selection. It's always packed after the offices turn out, so perhaps they think they don't need to bother. Still a decent enough pub though.

This appeared to be a Green King pub with five hand pumps, with Doombore off during my visit, I'm happy to say. This was very busy at just after 5pm, maybe all the staff from the Ministry for Justice use it!
